FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I've improved the throwing mod by Jeija.
Changes:

• The arrow is 3D.
• The bow wears out when you shoot.
• The bow is crafted with the strings of my farming mod.
• Stone and steel bow (more uses).
• Fire arrows.
• Teleport arrows.
• Dig arrows (dig the node that they hit).
• Build arrows (places the node that you have in your inventory at the first slot).

Depends:

• default
• bucket
• fire
• farming

It looks same as your mod.

Oh i love the idea of the teleport arrow :)

One quick question: how does the bow pick which type of arrow to shoot?

Keep up the good work! I really like your mods =]

Dang man one amazing mod after another! Absolutely amazing.

from what i see in the code first found in the inventory

Nice mod PilzAdam. Now you need to add TNT arrows! :P

Thats right. It checkes every slot of the inventory and takes the first arrow.

Thank you for your answers. I should've checked the code, but I felt lazy o.o
I just tried the transport arrow; I like the concept, hehe.

Some arrow ideas:
Lava arrow (adds lava_source on block which it lands)
Water arrow (same as lava but water)
Explosive arrow (the name says it all)
Mob arrow (spawns a mob)
Shadow arrow? (leaves a huge shadow in are of landing... Could this be possible?
Reverse teleport arrow (teleports player or mob or item to you)
Multi arrow (fires multiple arrows at once)
Tree arrow (grows tree instantly on contact with node)

Those are just some ideas.

Someone needs to make a Molotov cocktail mod so it can be thrown now.

how do i craft it ???????????????

bow:
string wood
string wood
string wood
Arrow
stick stick iron

deploy_nodes adds a new arrow for each deploy type:
sphere arrow
spiral arrow
building arrow
maze arrow
pyramid arrow
etc...

Little update:
The arrow in the inventory at the right of the bow is taken instead of the first arrow in the inventory. So you can have more bows that shoot different arrows without open the inventory.

Good idea! I'd like to see it documented in the README though, along with the arrow types and what they do.

This goes directly into my TODO list.

Problem here! It crashes mintest. I still like it.

Can you give more information?

When you hit another player the game crashes with the following error.

error_message = ServerError: LuaError: error running function 'on_step': attempt to index a number value

It appears to be the damage the arrow causes.


maybe using
obj:set_hp(obj:get_hp() - ArrowDamage)
might work

or having a function be called to figure out the damage based on the players armor value, so this can work well with the armor mod.

This error only appears in 0.4.3 stable. It is fixed in the current development version.

What is the current development version? This mod has potential.

IT DOES NOT WORK ON MY MINE TEST
IT GOES: throw/init.lua

Sorry, Mr. Capslock, but this mod does not work with 0.4.3 stable. You can try it with sfan5's windows builds.

but the funny fact is that youd better get jeija`s throwing, because it is realistic, cause in this mode, when you shot a arrow to a block, it doesnt gets stuck on the wall, and you can get it back and use it, in jeija`s, it stops in the block, and i think that jeija`s mod looks better

I made some textures for this:
